That's a great point, Mr. Buffet! Thinking long-term like your daddy, good stuff.
In my case, since the pond is about 15ft from my house, getting electricity out to any areas we will want to develop down the road shouldn't be an issue, but I'm not too keen on running, say, 300ft of wire and then putting the compressor kind of out in the middle of my yard because the ideal location for the compressor would be not too useful for anything else.
I wonder if there is a good way to mitigate the accumulation of condensation in the line? Maybe at the pond's edge after the long run, I could run a Y with an extension and threaded cap running down at a steeper angle. The upper leg would supply air, the lower leg would catch accumulated water?
